Congratulations Alyssa & John. Such a blessing your daughter is. I can't wait to see a picture of her. I bet she is precious. I love watching Bringing Up Bates, you have such an amazing & loving family. Cherish them. My parents are deceased & I am only 56. I miss them very much. Good bless you & your family. A fan in Washington.

If there are no Bates/Duggar kids weddings, maybe there will be a Bates/Duggar grandkid wedding - like Allie & Israel. :) Congrats to the Bates! How exciting for all of them with the first niece/granddaughter!

Thank you, Lily and Ellie. Your blogs are certainly the definitive source for both accurate and timely information about the Duggar and Bates families. No one else is reporting about Allie Jane's birth, and it is now a day since you posted this! You, Lily and Ellie, are to be commended for spending so much of your valuable time spreading the message that these two wonderful families have to share, and for doing so for so long. As a loyal reader since your very first post, I truly appreciate your work here!

Here here, ditto, and I concur! You ladies have a big job and you do it very well. It takes a lot of heart and dilligence to do this for us fan and the families. I can never say thank you enough it seems.THANK YOU :-) N

To Alyssa and John, should you read this: My family and I offer you sincere congratulations, and our continuing prayers, on the birth of your precious daughter, Allie Jane. I'm sure this marks the start of a lifetime of happiness for her here with you, and forever after with Our Lord. Thank you so much for your willingness to share your lives, and your faith, so openly. The three teen girls in the family certainly appreciate - and hope to emulate - Allyssa's terrific fashion sense. I'm sure Allie Jane will be dressed very well, although on a budget! Seriously, though, you should take heart knowing that so many brothers and sisters in Christ, and hopefully many who turn to Him from your example, see how happy one can be living a life of faith in this secular world. So congratulations, and thank you!

Welcome Allie Jane! Thank you Lord for this precious gift, may she grow up to be all you want her to be. Bless Alyssa and John to continue to be the examples of Godly people just as their parents taught them to be. Such a trial in today's world but with God, all things are possible. Love and blessings to you all. Love, Love, Love your family!

Congratulations to the proud Grandparents, Gil & Kelly Bates, and New Parents, John & Alyssa (Bates) Webster, on the arrival of their precious little angel from God 4-11-15, Allie Jane Webster. I'm so happy for your family & may God Bless you all. :-) ♡
